These documents are chiefly interesting in shew ing that the same enthusiasm which produced the revolt against French Tyranny continues with una bated zeal. It appears that atter the flight of Jo sEPu, the robber, arid his myrmidons froth - Madrid, the People maniteste , great indignation ,ig.tinst those who had acknowl,dged the authority of the Usurper 14h° had been forced upon the CountrY'Oit the S panish people, even with all their rage, did not proceed to the extrernitie4 which have characterised the French in all cases of itisurreaion, hut content ed themselves with breaking the windows and de stroying the furniture of a few houses inhabited by those against whom they were particularly offend ed. Retlettion, however, convinced them that the :.übm:ssion to the French was an ad of imperious necessity, on account of the great force and sanguinary charader of the latter, and the Spaniards soon returned to tranquillity and a de termination to bend all their efforts against the com• mon Enemy. It is stated that the French Army which had left Madrid consisted of 22,000 men They success:vely evacuated Segovia,Valladolid, and Palentia, and retreated to Burgos, Panorvoa: ;and Vittoria. JOSEPH had since left Vittoria, and, as we stated yesterday, had reached Bayonne, W regret to add that the Biscayans did not display policy equal to their spirit, but, 'relying upon the effect of DUPONT'S defeat on the French Army, or expect. ing timely succour from their Countrymen, rose too soon against their invaders; in consequence, French Troops to the amount of eight thousand bad, been detached from 'Vittoria, and who, after a brave resistance on the part of the Spaniards, had taken Bilboa, which surrendered upon terms of Capitulation on the 16th, very honourable to the Defenders; but the French, with their charafteristin perfidy, the moment they obtained possession of the place, began to exercise their rapacity, in diaciilin of all Treaties, and secured a very valeiablelictoty. are happy to find ihat:the Duke Del INOAN.TApo, I with other Spanish Noblemen, had escaped frotn Madrid ju,t before the flight Of the Usurper, and bad joined General 13LAia's Army. Tne Condat ot. the French in all places haS even exceeded in atrocity what might naturally have tieen eiLlietied from them. Pr! vale Letters state, that the Army under BasstE RES is more than 35,006, including 5006 Cavalry. BESSIERES, however, according to private accounts, had been cut off by Cvzsri and BLAKE, and had orll4ed to capitulate but we do not find that thii report wears an authentic shape. Another report, by the saute channel, is so important that we hope ii`will found true, viz. that a bodY of Pules, ei ceeding 3000; in the service of France, had revolted io the cause Of, Spain, and as an earnest of their sincerity had completely subdued a &vision of the French. . The enrollment for the service of the Country goes on at Madrid with great zeal, and compre hends all people froM the age of l 5 to 50 ; and to the honour of. the Country it appears that they need no exhortation to make them flock to the patriotic standard. FEEDittAND the VII. was to be formally proclaimed King on the 24th inst. at Ma drid and Toledo. The Junta of Castile has pro posed the formation of a Supreme Junta, to whom the entire government of the State shall be com mitted. The Armies of Arragott and Valencia en , tered Madrid on the 19th. CASTANOS is said to hare 90,000 men under his command, a great portion of whom are regular troops, and he has at least 8000 cavalry. Attempts will soon be made to drive the Enemy from Barce lona. Upon the whole, the news from Spain alto gether is of so cheering a nature, that the temporary possesion of Bilboa by the French is a slight draw back, though the latter seem disposed to make a stand in that quarter, as the spirit of all Spain seems to be effeatally roused, and n /ay be expected to pour like a to rent upoll the Enemy, it he should obsti nately remain to encounter the vengeance of an united people. . . An article from Granada, dated the 27th ult. says--" The .Junta of Malaga has officially an " nounced to the Government here, that on the " 25th a vessel arrived at that port from Ivica, the " Master of which declares, that on the 14th " there arrived a Packet giving intelligence of the if arrival at Aleudia of an English Frigate, which " had suffered severely in a coThbat which a British " Squadron had had off Toulon with a French " Squadron, which had left that port with ePien if Ships, containing 13,000 troops who were to be " disembarked on the Bateric Islands, or on the " coast of Catalonia, which Squadron was beaten " two vessels had been taken by the English, two " bad suWi, and the rest were pursued." We should be happy to have it in our power to confirm the above intelligence. The Dispatches from Lord 6)LLINGWOOD came down to the 3oth ult, and at that time no accounts of any naval action in the Mediterranean had reached his Lordship. A Letter, however, has been received from an Officer of one of our Line of Battle Ships belonging to the outer squadron cruizing off Cadiz, which is also dated the 30th July. This letter states, that an ac count similar to the above had reached Gibraltar. It certainly is not improbable that the French should attempt to send a large force to Minorca or to Barcelona, in the hope of getting possession of the Carthaginian Squadron, or of relieving the Gar rison of Barcelona ; but if an action had been fought so long ago, it is singular that no regular account of it should have reached England. Yesterday morning, his MAisSTY, the Princesses SOPHIA, AUGUSTA, and AMELIA, accompanied by Lords WALSINGHAM and SOMERVILLE, Count MUN STER, Lady THYNNE, General C.ARTVVRIGHT, and Colonel TAYLOR, rode in the Gleat Park, and re turned at twelve. Afierwards the Princesses, ac. companied by Lords WALSINGHAM and SOMER VILLE, Count MUNSTER, Lady THYNNE, Generals CART ARIGHT and FITZROY, and Colonel TAYLOR, took another ride for an hour. Sunday evening THEIR MAJESTIES and PRIN CEsSES walked on the Terrace, accompanied by Lord SOMERVILLE, Lord and Lady WALSINGHAM, Count MUNSTER, Generals FITZROY and CART.. WRIGHT, Ladies ISABELLA THYNNE and MURRAY, till half past seven o'clock, and a very genteel com pany mended ; the Bands of the Royal Horse Guards, Blues, with their silver drums, and Stafford Militia, attended, and played martial and pleasant tunes. The Marquis DE LA ROMANA, who, with so much gallantry and address, extricated his army from the power of the Tyrant, is a Grandee of Spain. He js nephew of Don VENTURA CARo, who command. ed in Biscay last war ; and his property, which is very large, lies in Valentia and Majorca. He was intimately connected with the late Lord ivloutsyr STUART. He is a man of a highly cultivated mind, and distinguished himself very much in the war in the Pyrenees. He is about 40 years of age, and full of vigour. He did not determine on the step he has taken till within four days of the execution of it. The dexterity and promptitude with which he con cluded the whole business under difficulties of every ,kind, do him infinite honour, and point bite out as a General of consummate talent,. QZTAI .r .

About 25_ transports sailed fro.n the Nore, at an early hour on Sunday morning, with orders to pro ceed wifltiali possible dispatch to Yarmouth, where a convoy is provided to condua them to the Island of Langeland, for the purpose of bringing away the Spanish ttoops. They will come, in the fir,t in stance, to this country, in order to furnish them'with ammunition and clothing before they are sent to Spain. Of clothing the Spaniards are particularly in need, as they had no supply whatever of that ar ticle since they left their native country. 'The Fierwh have, in fad, shewn a complete indltY,Tence to the accommodation of those gallant men ; anti long be fore the denouement of BUC*%APARTE'S plan of treach ery against Spain, the treatment experienced by the Spanish troops, who were incorporated with his forCe, was peculiarly ungenerous and harsh. Batt every tale of neglect and persecution, which these. brave men will have to unfold to their countrymen, upon their return home, must have a good area, as it will naturally tend to aggravate the resentment,. and inflame the spirit which promises to extinguish the hope of French domination in Spain.
